> I’m amazed that anyone buys shoes over the net. I have to try on anything I buy; the fit changes even if shoes say they’re the right size. Are you internet shoe shoppers blessed with standard sized feet or do you make lots of returns in case you don’t look as hot as the model?

I have standard sized everything (Lucky me).

Also, I find that foot wear tends to be forgiving - if an item is slightly too big, it’s easy to get a gel insert to solve the problem.

Straight guy opinion #2:

Closed toes? Bleh! How “sexy” can any shoe be with closed toes?
